<p>[QUOTE="daveg713, post: 4438857, member: 104218"]Do the TPGs grade PL and DMPL designations by different standards based on different years and mint marks? In other words, would the threshold for a PL or DMPL designation on, say, a 1881 S Morgan be more stringent because of how common they are? Conversely, would they perhaps be more willing to grant a PL or DMPL designation for a 1892 O Morgan because of how ultra-rare they are? </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently obtained a 1892 O Morgan with very good reflectivity, so this isn't a purely hypothetical question. And when I look at photos of Morgans sold at auction from years and mints with rare PL and DMPL designations, it seems the TPGs tend to grant something a PL that I feel would not get that designation in other years and mints. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm still very much a newbie, so I look forward to any thoughts from all you more experienced than I am — and thanks in advance for any feedback![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
